Retro Charm in a Convenient Family Location

Tucked at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac, this charmingly retro home offers huge potential for a modern makeover and a superb location for a growing family or busy professionals.

With original elements such as elegant leadlight windows, polished jarrah floorboards and decorative ceilings, there’s a lot to love about the original 1950s build. Neat as a pin, the home is fronted by a low-maintenance garden and tiled terrace, from which striking Italianate arches frame a sunny outlook across the greenery of Britannia Reserve.

Inside, there are plenty of quality features – well-maintained original jarrah floors, soaring ceilings, a stylish art deco-style curved mantlepiece in the separate living room, pendant lighting and ornate ceiling roses. Elsewhere, there’s a family-sized bathroom ready for a contemporary makeover, a separate study, huge laundry and a second WC.

Outside is a paved covered alfresco, wood-chip garden and side parking for one or two cars. Just a quick stroll to excellent schools, cafes and parks and a short commute to Perth’s CBD, this three-bedroom, one-bathroom home boasts an enviable parkside location in the heart of Leederville. With a little imagination and careful design, the keen renovator not only has a lot to work with, but a super convenient, family-friendly location.

Enjoy Lake Monger’s picturesque scenery and proximity to Oxford Street’s energetic dining and shopping precinct for weekend brunches. The freeway entries are conveniently close at hand, as are top sporting and leisure amenities at Beatty Park and Loftus Recreation Centre, and the Leederville Station.

This is a hugely popular location and properties with charm and potential like this, are snapped up quickly.
